“I asked my constituents in Florida's 17th District how ObamaCare is affecting them. One said they were upset that their coverage was going to go up by more than $300. Another said that their insurance plan went from $204 per month to $720 per month and that they couldn't afford that. Others reported increases of 100, 200, even 400 percent. Most devastating were those that are on Medicare Advantage who are set to lose their doctors. One woman lost her primary care doctor of over 20 years. Another whose husband lost five doctors, including a cardiologist that has cared for him since his heart transplant, said that they are not able to keep their doctors or their insurance plans. Worst of all is the impact on Florida families. One gentleman in my district said: I have looked at quotes for my family of three. It looks like it will cost us about $5,000 more a year. I may have to get a divorce so my wife and son can afford the insurance. If I do, they will qualify for discounts we don't get if we are married. Mr. Speaker, there are stories like this all across Florida and the country. So much for, if you like your plan, you can keep it. Now all of our constituents are suffering. ____________________”
